Guidance for families with compassion and professional expertise.

Mag. Marie Seibl-Kraus, MSc – family counselor and systemic coach in Vienna

Parenting Counseling

As an educational counselor, I support families in finding their very own path. With understanding, appreciation, and practical impulses for everyday life.

I offer professionally sound counseling on issues relating to development, relationships, and familial challenges. Together, we develop individual, sustainable solutions — so your everyday family life becomes easier again.

Accompanying children is beautiful, and sometimes challenging. When uncertainty, overwhelm, or conflicts shape everyday family life, I am by your side: professional, empathetic, and solution-oriented.

Children don't need perfect parents, but those who take responsibility and are willing to learn alongside their children.

Parenting Counseling before Mutual Divorce

When a divorce has been decided upon and the adults are trying to cope with these new life circumstances, this also affects their child or children. Although parental separation is no longer an isolated fate for children today, it is still a serious disruption in their lives. In the mandatory one-time counselling session, we discuss how you can best support your child or children, how you can recognise the needs of your child or children resulting from the divorce, and how you can respond to them appropriately.

Counseling in Custody Proceedings

In proceedings concerning custody or the child's welfare, the court may order parental counseling if parents fail to make or adhere to agreements, or fail to recognize and appropriately respond to the children's needs.

The contents of the counseling sessions are confidential and will not be passed on to the court.

Systemic Coaching

Professional guidance during changes, crises, and problem-solving to shape one's life more consciously and increase the quality of life. Systemic coaching serves to recognize one's own abilities and potentials, expand competencies and options for action, and create constructive communication in social relationships and conflict situations.

Marriage and Couples Counseling

“Whoever wants, finds ways; whoever doesn't want, finds reasons.”
add_circle

When closeness begins to fade, different ideas of life create tension, or conversations repeatedly end in blame and hurt, couples counselling can offer new orientation. It provides a safe and professional space to clarify conflicts, better understand your situation, and develop sustainable solutions for both partners.

Children's Coaching

“It is not the things themselves that disturb us. It is our perception of things.”Epictetus
add_circle

Children often carry a heavy burden especially in phases like separation or divorce of their parents. Coaching offers relief here. I create a safe space where they can express feelings, fears, and wishes without judgment. Children thus become active creators of their own story.
